The Window of Tolerance: This animation uses beautiful imagery to describe what we mean by our ‘Window of Tolerance’. Our Window of Tolerance is where we are at our personal best – where we can play, think, love and be loved. When we experience trauma and adversity – our Window of Tolerance narrows, and we become sensitive to stress. Here, we explore what this looks like in children and adults, and we also explore how you can support those of us who carry trauma in our nervous system.
